Di Matteo likes Schalke's attack

Schalke coach Roberto Di Matteo is excited by the attacking quality in his squad as he prepares for his first game in charge.

The
Italian replaced Jens Keller earlier in October after Schalke's slow
start to the Bundesliga campaign, which saw them win just two of seven
games to sit 11th.

Di Matteo said it had been difficult with several players away on international duty, but he likes the look of his attack.

The former Chelsea manager said improved organisation would be the key when his side face Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

"I watched some of Schalke's matches and got some ideas," Di Matteo told a news conference.

"I think the attacking potential of the team is very big, but we have to improve our organisation."
Di Matteo is urging Schalke to focus on the collective, despite the individual quality within their squad.
